Default RE: Lost and Found

I lost a 40 size plane once back 30 years ago. I saw it "land" up in a pine tree, but it was in so deep and high in the tree I couldn't even see it. Finally blew down about 6 months later and I found it at the base of the tree. I brought the engine (an FP 40) back to life and finally retired it about 2 years ago. They will take lots of abuse EXCEPT lean runs. That will take them out in a weekend.
